The Lancashire Thread

[SMH]

I always want Lancs to win but I’m not a big enough fan that I’d trek down to Headingley on a midweek. Only way you could get me to go to a Lancs game not at OT is a Lords final or T20 finals day.

I miss going to watch Lancs in the cricket, used to go to Old Trafford a few times when I was still at school. Been to watch Warwickshire on a couple occasions at Edgbaston since I moved down here but it's not the same.

Never mind Yorkshire’s bowling, if it wasn’t for willey with the bat York’s wouldn’t of even made 100!

Big batting collapse when you went 4 down, thought you were nailed on for a score above 200 at the halfway stage. Don’t think lancs would of chased that down

That's the trouble when you have to supply England with all their decent players, means we have to play with a weakened team all season. Fully deserved last night however, unlike Old Trafford where it felt whoever got lucky would sneak it.

It's always so much better at old Trafford cos their is always plenty of us there, never none of you here for some reason.

Aye, it's weird, would be interesting if it was swapped one year with the Headingley fixture on the Friday night.

Tbf it's been on a Friday at headingley the last 3 years and still never ever no away fans. Always loads of us all over old Trafford which makes it into a far more enjoyable night for everyone.

Which is why we need to get rid of them , which we are doing by the looks of it.

Who knows, can't imagine getting back from Leeds to Lancashire is any more difficult to getting home from Manchester to Yorkshire.

I'd be interested to know how many people from central Manchester go and watch Lancs, always seems to be dominated by out of towners whenever I go. Don't know how much interest there is within the actual city.

 

[SMH]

Reckon more folk come and watch from Bolton, Preston, Wigan, Blackpool than Central Manchester. Then you have the people from Cheshire and Merseyside who support Lancs as it’s the closest first class county to them. I actually think Lancashire’s support is pretty poor considering their catchment area. They should comfortably attract well over 10k for all their T20 matches but they don’t seem to. The Roses doesn’t really count as it’s a one off game full of casual fans.

Easier for me to go to old Trafford as there is still a quick train back where as it's the rattler from Leeds. To be fair when the we all hate Leeds chant goes up at old Trafford all the Yorkshire fans join in too so maybe we have a lot of support outside Leeds too.

That's probably Leeds fans joining in mate - I remember the England game at Elland Road there was a "we all hate Leeds scum" go up and then a "all Leeds aren't we" straight after and people were laughing on Twitter because they thought it was a response but it wasn't, was just Leeds fans. Odd bunch.

In fairness you can't blame them for hating themselves

So...finals day or Brentford away? Decisions to be made.

I'm actually in Birmingham that day for a birthday, pretty shitty if I sack it off for the cricket though, what a dick tease.

Can work out very shit finals day, we binned millwall away off the other year, £66 a ticket, notts v northants was the 1st game so we obviously never went in for that, we then got hammered by Durham with rain involved so off we went, not the best £66 spent.

Much going on around Edgbaston on the day? might get involved with that then watch Lancs play in the pub.

 

[LancashireTrotters]

Had a look last night, only a handful of single seats around the ground. I haven’t renewed my membership for the last few years, so I doubt I’ll get any tickets from Lancs allocation. Will try all the same.

Hundreds of tickets available outside off the touts, cheaper than face value too.

Fuck all mate.

 

[Bobbin']

Finals day never really appealed to me all that much. If you’re on first and lose can you really be arsed to stay through 2 more?

 

[SMH]

Looking like Brentford will win out over finals day. So watch Lancs go and lift that trophy now.

 

[LancashireTrotters]

Lancs allocation sold out within an hour it seems.

Only get about 900 tickets it's a joke.

 

[LancashireTrotters]

500. Ludicrous.

 

[blademan89]

Jesus , even more of a joke.

 

[JonBCFC]

Don’t waste your money, Somerset’s gonna win it anyway lads

 

[LeylandWhite]

Don't waste your money, cricket's shit lads.

 

[mossypne]

Got my tickets for it today

 

[mossypne]

Tickets have arrived, but taking a look at the trains coming home it's an absolute nightmare. Last train from Birmingham is at 9...

 

[Muzzle]

At least we are off the bottom.....for the time being
